About Me

My name is Alex. I am a working photographer in Greenville, South Carolina. I've been a photographer since 1996 (about 18 years now).

Compensation is on a case by case basis. I have plenty of quality shots in my book. Unless the shoot is going to benefit me in some way in terms of original concepts, shots I need and don't have, or some other salable product, I prefer paid assignments.

I only pay agency represented models, or free lance models in the "Experienced" to "Very Experienced" category range with plenty of work to show. There's more to the modeling craft than being pretty.

I expect appointments to be kept. Models who cancel without a good reason, or just don't show up, will not be considered for future projects.

The photographer/model relationship is a business interaction. Far too many models I've met seem to believe that every guy they shoot with is trying to date them. I'm not, so please don't treat me like I am. I expect adult, professional communication and interaction.

If you're serious about shooting, I expect reasonably prompt communication. If we're trying to plan a shoot and you don't check your email often, call me at 864-320-2757, or provide me with a contact number.

I prefer that we use a make-up artist. The images will reflect on both of our reputations. Professional make-up makes a difference. If we agree to shoot, we can discuss the details.

Unless prohibited by an agency, I require a commercial release, with reasonable negotiation allowable, for all shoots. This is based upon the following:

• If I am paying for your services, I expect to get a return on my investment. It is right and fair that I have the legal right to use the photographs to make money. I am not paying for your services so I can admire your image on my computer screen.

• If this is a TFP shoot, the relative financial investment is grossly unbalanced. Unless you are bringing designer collection pieces to the shoot, I have more invested financially, and it's fair that I get something of value out of the shoot besides pretty pictures of you that I can admire on my computer screen.

Escorts don't bother me. I do comprehend a lady's need to feel safe. However, I have shot hundreds of women of all age categories, and in every state of undress. They have all made it home alive and well . . . untouched, unraped, unmolested, and unharmed in any way. Feel free to contact any of the models I have listed for a reference. If you insist on bringing an escort with the implication that you need it for safety, please don't bother trying to schedule a shoot with me. If you believe from the outset that you need a bodyguard, I don't foresee the shoot going well.
